I'm actually surprised how much attention this one is getting. Makes me think I need to do more almost accidental splatter paintings... (also makes me despair slightly at ever being able to do natural, fun looking paintings that're also *planned* for kids books)
I think... I think you have a knack for fluid motion in pictures. When you depict daydreams they feel unfoldy, when you depict meetings they seem directional and full of potential energy. Going with that is, I think, a good thing. (I totally get that... but maybe you're thinking about it in a non-constructive way. Maybe you should free yourself up from doing color and form together, and look at them as separate projects. Planning is important, but within the plan you can do a lot of creative things, and creativity is largely just a bunch of neural accidents anyway. So... what's the rate at which happy accidents occur and get utilized well, and could you angle them towards a subject or a theme? From there it is a plan. Inventors get this way all the time, as do the writers of movie scores.)
